CVE-2024-26789 is fixed in 22 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26789, released April 4, 2024. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-26789 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.8 (high) - EPSS: 0.0024 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Apr 4, 2024 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: arm64/neonbs - fix out-of-bounds access on short input The bit-sliced implementation of AES-CTR operates on blocks of 128 bytes, and will fall back to the plain NEON version for tail blocks or inputs that are shorter than 128 bytes to begin with. It will call straight into the plain NEON asm helper, which performs all memory accesses in granules of 16 bytes (the size of a NEON register). For this reason, the associated plain NEON glue code will copy inputs shorter than 16 bytes into a temporary buffer, given that this is a rare occurrence and it is not worth the effort to work around this in the asm code. The fallback from the bit-sliced NEON version fails to take this into account, potentially resulting in out-of-bounds accesses. So clone the same workaround, and use a temp buffer for short in/outputs. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | bpftool-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-headers amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf-static amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.1.82-99.168 amzn 2023 | 1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-tools amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | kernel-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | linux Debian 12.15 (bookworm) | 6.1.82-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26789](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2024-26789.md) | Apr 4, 2024 | | Linux | linux Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 6.7.9-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26789](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2024-26789.md) | Apr 4, 2024 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.7.9-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26789](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2024-26789.md) | Apr 4, 2024 | | Linux | perf amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | perf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | python3-perf amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | | Linux | python3-perf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.82-99.168.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2024-784](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2024-784.md) | Dec 5, 2024 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T13:31:49Z UTC.
